Did anyone see this man, Stephen Gough, on the telly tonight?
He has walked completely starkers even in snow, from Scotland, right down to Eastleigh in Hampshire. I think they said he has been arrested 8 times.
What do you think about this, do you say good luck to him or do you think he's a complete idiot?
I dont think of him as an idiot more an eccentric and having a pop at the establishment. How about Spencer Tunick’s work when hundreds strip off in public for his photographs, nudity on a large scale, is it more acceptable. ?

I'm inclined to agree with that I think Nom, although I don't think its right he has not seen his kids for nearly 7 years.
As for the mass nudity paintings - why?
And before someone says "Why not?", what I mean is, I don't understand what the artist is trying to achieve. I certainly wouldn't want to buy one anyway.
He's eccentric alright but in this country it's not acceptable to walk about naked in full view of the public. He thinks he's on some sort of crusade I suppose but at the end of the day he is costing we taxpayers money.
Oddly I have less problem with him walking around naked than I have with some of the sexually explicit clothing we see people wearing these days. Not sure what that says about me LOL
I dispute that he is naked, if I remember right, he has stout walking boots, a rucksack and a hat, haven't heard about him for a long while now, didn't realize he was still "Hanging out".
You are quite right Spitty, he does have all of those things. I think people seem to have a problem he displays bits and bibs rather than he has no clothes on.
That explains my stance I think, he displays himself in a totally unsexual un threatening way whereas people in sexually provocative clothing don't.
